Job:

Senior Product Owner

Company:

Sainsbury's

As the Senior Product Owner I lead a team of Product Owners who act as the link between the business functions and the Technology division. Each one of them 'owns' one or more technology products (that would be hardware, in house developed software or third party solutions). This includes the whole lifecycle from selection through to implementation.
